Read Exodus 36:8-38 here

The skilled men made the 10 curtains that are made from twisted blue, purple and scarlet material. The curtains are to be 28 cubits long and four cubits wide. Five of the curtains should be joined together.  There should be 50 blue loops on the edge of each of the curtains.  Then they were to add 50 gold clasps to join the 10 curtains.  They will make the tabernacle one unit.  They did just as the Lord told Moses to do.  

The skilled men made eleven curtains that made the outer tent.  The length of the curtains are to be 30 cubits, the width of each curtain is to be 4 cubits.  5 are to be joined by themselves and the other 6 themselves.  The 6 are to be doubled over the front of the tent.  There are to be 50 loops on the outermost edges of the two sets of curtains.  There will be 50 bronze clasps that join all of the loops together into one unit.  They did just as the Lord told Moses to do.  

The skilled men made boards for the tabernacle were made of acacia wood.  10 cubits long by 1½ cubits wide each board will be.  The boards are to be overladen with Gold.  This section tells that there are 48 pieces of wood for the tabernacle.  There were 96 silver sockets that the board sat in.  They were braced by 5 bars.  

The skilled men made a veil was to be made of blue, purple and scarlet material along with fine twisted linen.  They were also to make cherubim.  The veil was to be hung on 4 acacia overlaid by gold.  The hooks were to also be gold and placed in 4 sockets of silver.  The ark of testimony was to be put behind the veil.  This veil would separate the holy from the holy of holies.  The mercy seat should be put on the ark of the testimony and place in the holy of holies.  The table and the lampstand should be on the outside of the veil.  

There should also be a screen made of blue, purple and scarlet material along with fine twisted linen.  There should be 5 pillars of acacia overlaid with gold for the screen.  The hooks are also of gold.  The sockets are to be of bronze. They did just as the Lord Told Moses to do.
